So the best thing to do at this point is probably to download and install the 4.0 glibc.i386 (glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm) like this:
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.0/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.r...
rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm
Another posibility is to edit /etc/yum.conf, and change "exactarch=1" to "exactarch=0", and run "yum update glibc.i386". When it is done, edit /etc/yum.conf again, and undo the change (set "exactarch=1"). Run "yum update" to update the rest of the system.
Oh, and I'd like to thanks Bryan for extremely educative and informative mailings about i586. Well, at least to me, I still have two Intel Pentium MMX chips in working condition and powered on 24/7. One of them powering my laptop, and the other was happily running Apache, Sendmail and Cyrus IMAPD servers until about month or two ago (now being used as firewall) ;-)
